I've been noticing this for a long time actually, but I usually don't take it too seriously if it's from my friends because I know they still know in what situations they have to use uppercase and lowercase letters, although sometimes it's a bit unpleasant.
I understand if it's meant as aesthetics but if it's a form of defiance against grammar, what's the basis for it? The problems that arise from this are not really visible now but will be in 10-20 years from now, and it will be seen a lot in the realm of semantics and pragmatics.
Apart from that, writing only in lowercase will weaken speed reading skills such as skimming and scanning. How is that possible? Because we have lost recognition of the visual form of words. Remember that we sometimes don't read letters but word shapes.
Moreover, people will not even be able to guess the tone or pitch of a word, including when a sentence begins or ends, especially if there is no punctuation at all like full stop (.). This is true and I believe it happens to many people

The death of capital letters: why gen Z loves lowercase
Young people have ditched capitalisation in favour of a writing style that reflects their values and attitudes to tradition. Will this change our language for ever?
Running out of content to post is worse than having too much content to post 🙂↕️
Everything is political, and from that said, we must be guided by good politics with the aim of the good of the people.
May those who are on the right path remain on the right path and those who are on the wrong path will be guided to the right path.
Happy 105th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, 1 July 2026. From one small secret meeting in Shanghai to global socio-economic changes, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has proven to the world that socialism is not only a theory, but a living manifesto capable of moving civilisation.
The Communist Party of China, for more than a century, has united and led the Chinese people in advancing national development, rejuvenation and modernisation, especially since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Its journey represents a mission of resilience, innovation and strong leadership.
When the global capitalist system was repeatedly hit by systemic crises, the Socialism with Chinese Characteristics model stood firm as a successful antithesis. This is clear evidence of the adaptive ideological superiority, where the Marxist theory has been successfully implemented in line with the realities and needs of the times.

From this anniversary it can be concluded that the future does not belong to those who doubt, but rather to those who have direction and consistency. We all can see that in China there is a path to modernisation without losing national identity and sovereignty.
Let us interpret this commemoration not only as a historical reflection, but as an inspiration to continue moving forward towards a more just and socialist world order. to continue moving forward towards a world order that is more just, socialist, and supports the common welfare.

Of the many old YouTube revival websites I've come across, only VidLii can be said to be the best. I still use VidLii until now. I'm confused why everyone misses BitView while something better than BitView, even older, still exists.
Adalah sangat buruk bagi Pemerintah Republik Indonesia untuk mengkriminalisasi kelompok minoritas seksual dan gender atau LGBTQ+.
It is very bad for the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to criminalise sexual and gender minority groups or LGBTQ+.

Only Tumblr users would understand, especially those who joined before 2020s like me. Almost every day is nostalgia for us, romanticising the internet aesthetics on Tumblr in 2010s, in fact, many internet aesthetics were born from Tumblr.
One of the biggest aesthetics is "2014 Tumblr" which has had a huge impact on the internet culture especially among Gen Z by popularising highly curated aesthetics, fandom-driven relationships, and deeply personal blogging. It quite influenced how I build my self-image, you know.
Well, that's generally how it is, but it's not without its problems. I can elaborate but not now okay hehe, you know what I mean. I personally am not involved in those problems okay, I only observed, also I am healthy (mentally I mean), very. Just enjoy the nostalgia!
